Chapter 506: Following The Scent of Death (1/2)

Old Gary was woken up early the next morning because the guests wanted to check out. Aldina was sad that they had to leave so soon but still wished them luck in rescuing Misana while she thanked them for the autographed dagger from Mitchnew.

”Someone from Half Moon Village will contact you,” Zero assured the new Guild Master of the Humanitarian Guild. ”Also, don't panic if King Brice visits you in person. I told him that he has to support the guild and rebuild this country if we took on his request. He's still very young and helpless so I hope that you can assist him to create a better future with Half Moon Village backing you up.”

Bob transformed into his full dragon form, making the grandfather and granddaughter's jaws drop as Truen and Zero climbed onto his back.

”Yip yip! Onward to Route 553!” Zero grinned and Bob rolled his eyes.

”Master, I don't know what route 553 is.”

Truen shook his head at the two excited companions. ”I do. Let's head northeast for now. Also, hold on to this,” he told Zero and passed him a chain. ”See if you can use a tracking spell later. We need to cover ground now. Goodbye, it was a lovely stay.”

Aldina waved goodbye and Old Gary was still rooted to the ground. With a short chant, they vanished and with a whoosh of air, they were gone. The retired general felt as if the remaining of his lifespan had been shortened by half. That dragon had certainly been going easy on him when they arm-wrestled. Knowing was one thing and seeing was another. He didn't think that he would ever see a real dragon in his lifetime and now, it was time to get to work.

They flew for fifteen minutes and finally, the city of Smargdas was far behind them. Zero rested his back against Truen chest while he tried to complete the array for a tracing spell on a talisman. It was rather difficult to draw accurately on the dragon's back and Bob apologised for the wind disrupting the spell preparations.

”Here, let me move a little to block some of that wind. Don't drop the chain, we won't be able to retrieve anything that falls from this height,” the archer warned and Zero nodded.

Ten minutes later, the tracking spell was finally activated.

”Which direction?” Truen asked and Bob slowed down to prepare for a change in direction.

Zero concentrated and looked at the faint mana thread. ”Go west. For now, the thread is very faint, I assume that they are still very far for us to find. Are you sure this is a chain used by the group that had Misana?”

Truen nodded. ”Confirmed it myself with several sources. It's at least better than the flimsy map of route 553 that I received.”
